I believe this school bell was the one used in the school that existed before the Macdonald Consolidated School was built. On one of our trips to Middleton, a friend of my mother's had asked us to visit her in Kentville on our way back to Truro.
She presented us with the bell and told us where it had come from. Since I was in education and at the Nova Scotia Teachers College, she thought I would appreciate the bell and its history. I do.
At some time, I will probably pass it on to the Macdonald Museum, but, for now, it's a treasured artifact in our home.
It's about seven inches high.
